I have Plex set to scan automatically for new items and do partial scans for only the library that got the new stuff and that works fine for local drives, but does fail quite regularly on shared drives facilitating the need to manually update that show or that library.
Juice you are absolutely right! I forgot to mention that all of my content is in Google Drive. That is why it takes so long to scan the tv section.
That do make a difference I guess, but that ‘Refresh Metadata’ under the dots at the main show level should provide the result you’re after.
Perhaps this would work in your case:

You could use the Plex Command Line to update new episodes. It is some work though.
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201242707-Plex-Media-Scanner-via-Command-LineYou will want to do the --list command with Plex Media Scanner.exe first to get a list of your libraries for the example below we will use TV Shows = 1 (Section 1 in the next part)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe" --verbose --scan --refresh --section 1 --directory "G:\Media\TV Shows\Arrow\Season 05)"The above will scan in any new episodes for just season 05 of Arrow. If you want to update/add all of Arrow you would just remove \Season 05
Of course, you would need some special paths I would assume - but that is actually a wild guess on my part.
there was definitely the option to do so, because i used it often for a while. It’s ridiculously annoying having to wait for 1000’s of files to get scanned when i just need to update one folder
we still need this feature. If im trying to fix/add a single episode of a TV show (that was incorrectly scanned or wont correctly scan), why is the only option to “Scan Library Files” for my entire 400+ TV show library?
we should be able to choose “Scan Library Files” on a per TV show basis. (the refresh metadata and analyze options that do exist on a per tv show basis, are useless. The one function we do need on a per tv show basis, does not exist).
plex please add “Scan Library Files” on a per TV show (which is really per folder on the filesystem) basis. tks
